o.O

I'd counted wrong when I said I had 142 skeins of cotton classic.

... It's 165 skeins.

I haven't counted all the remix, but I know that's well over 100, and as I consolidate yarn I discovered a whole bin of assorted colors of pima silk that I must have snapped up as they discontinued it. And that's not counting the cones of kitchen cotton or the specialty yarns picked up for one project or another.

Even my hoarding instincts are going "Y'know what? You're fine in the yarn department."

ETA: Did a rough count of the remix: ~109. That's about 23,500 yards. And about a dozen skeins of cosibu sock yarn, each of which will produce 1 pair of socks.

And that's not listing older stash or abandoned projects (such as the 4 skeins of alpaca worsted I got for the flatmate scarf and then decided to do it in remix.)

*amused snort* I have an app that lets you lists all the knitting stuff you have, in the forlorn hope of not going out and getting more. I haven't even put all the stash into it, and the numbers are either scary or impressive, possibly both.

I really don't need to buy yarn for the next 3 years, at least...

(Oh, and while collecting and counting things? I found MORE cotton classic.)
